Day 1 - Cley waders

With some time to kill this afternoon I decided to unleash the Olympus on the wading birds of Cley-next-the-sea. 

A juvenile Greenshank provided great entertainment as it fed close to the path on New Carter's scrape. It was joined by a juvenile Ruff (unphotographed), Redshank and a very young Little Egret. 

Further round from Bishop's Hide the Glossy Ibis showed well for a short time while a shower darkened the sky before moving off to Richardson Scrape and never returning. 

A few photos from today then: 

So my initial thoughts on the Olympus system:

Pros

• Lightweight and superbly balanced to use with 300mm F4
• Easy to get sharp images
• Excellent focus accuracy and speed
• Very adjustable RAW files
• Exceptional image stabilisation
• Well thought out design

Cons

• ISO above 800 would not be useful to me due to noise *Personal preference*
• Menu system mind boggling if wanting to find and change a setting quickly

Overall a good start. As I said in my opening post the 4/3 system, like any system, has its compromises but its certainly off to a good start.
